I have a few more assignments left to do, and two weeks of classes (I can turn stuff in late if needed), and I really want to get this done... once my work is complete I can coast for several months... Any ideas on how to concentrate with a headache and fuzziness? If I manage to do well again, I could get a significant scholarship for next term which would REALLY help...
Any ideas, truly appreciated.

Feb 24, 2012 - Slipped on a large puddle of ice at work, hitting the back of my head. No loss of consciousness, so I assumed I'd be back at work within a few days. I was wrong. When resting, symptoms are low. With exertion, I still suffer from fatigue, migraines, vision problems, problems thinking or reading, troubles sleeping, issues finding or getting words to my mouth when the headaches are bad, tinnitus, and thyroid issues which I think are due to the concussion. Seen one specialist, and now a few others through insurance review of my case. Hoping for further treatment. |

You could try some Extra Strength Excederin for the headache and take breaks often. Go outside for a little walk. Take small naps, rests in between working.
The Excederin has a lot of caffeine in it so it helps to clear the fog and sharpen concentration for a few hours. Don't push yourself too hard or it will set you back more. Eat some oatmeal and fruit. Take good care of yourself. Good luck. That is great that you could get a scholarship! I am proud. My daughter is also a candidate for scholarships. Brain
